A Good Measure A bill lias recently been introduced into the Confederate Congress, which provides that ev cry man, irieeoectivc ol age or pbyaical condi' tion, alio rclu.-?s to take Confederate money foi piodure v'r other property which he ha* to all, he immediately consciibed and placed in the anny. Thii is a good meaiuie a* far as it goes. In our judgement it would have been belter it it had piopoeed to inflict a like punishment upon all, who having a supply of pi 6 aioiia beyond their own requirements, refuse to sell at all _ The Government has piovided tor getting its own supplies, by a law which toicea it fioui the producer, whethe' lie ia willing to aall or not; hut no 'provision ol this soil ia made lor the tarn lies of ita soldiers and the doii pioduceia gencially, who aie in dangei ot suffering in the midst ol coiupai alive abundance. It has been ttaid that it ail the able while males wera rcquiied to take the field, the siavca would make enough provisions to aupply the country.
